The universal law of gravitation states that the force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So depending on how far you are from the center of mass, it will change but the variation of these magnitudes is very small for us. You feel the resisting force on your feet everytime you stand.

Most are delisted/Monetized or outright deleted - same goes for Google's algorithm. What DOES exist is nonesene - The Flat Earth Society are anything but - it's a honeypot to catch curious people and give them erroneous information to make the position seem even more ridiculous than it already appears.(and trust me, I know it sounds ignorant!) So with me telling you that - I don't have all the answers, I find out new things everyday. I did stumble across the explanation a few weeks ago, but I'll have to find it. The radio towers for instance are a strength for FE - the claim is radio signals are able to travel the distance they can because of the level earth and longer wave length. There is also the datapoint that 95% of all telecommunications are run through cable - so it's just the final transmission run from radio towers

What are you trying to measure? Gravitational acceleration of the earth? Galileo figured it out around 1600 by experimenting with rolling spheres of different mass down inclined planes. You can drop a rhinoceros and a thumb tack from the same height in a vacuum and they'll both hit the ground at the same time. Or are you trying to hold a particle in your hand called gravity (or a graviton) that tells you what he's doing? No offense taken, I also questioned everything while I was studying structural engineering and used the scientific method to confirm everything in a lab. Accepting answers blindly is a waste of mind but with that being said, there isn't even a drop of doubt that we landed on the moon lol. |

The black hole you harness to generate wormhole for FTL travel will act as the center gravitational source of "artificial" gravity.
For our flat-earth person, have you ever watched a ship with sails head for the horizon? The mast slowly disappears as the ship goes over the curve.

I see the gravitational effects of another object every time I have lunch at a nearby sea port. The tides come in and the tides go out, thanks to the moon.

3.0 didn’t say anything about a new moon or not…

A new moon implies the moon isn’t present in your local sky - though, during a new moon it’s not visible at all anywhere, so how is it impacting your tides? They change twice a day like clockwork - ‘gravity’ has nothing to do with it.

You are certainly entitled to your own opinion and I believe your opinion boils down to mistrust of science and government.

My mistrust is based on inconsistencies in the narrative - I’m not sure how grown adults (myself included) just regurgitate this stuff without thinking what we are saying. |
